  We recently had the pleasure of staying at Seascape and are counting the months until we return! Truly a warm and wonderful home in a beautiful setting along Half Moon Bay.The condo was clean and spacious,beds were amazing! Waking up to the breeze from the Ocean and having the AC when needed,fans in the bathrooms were so appreciated!Diana has truly thought of every comfort needed when on a holiday. The staff were friendly and eager to help.We walked to the La Lunita for a wonderful dinner on the beach, LaBeuna Vida for some lively happy hours, the Loncheria in the village makes great guac,Lucy's kitchen the best ice cream,bbq chicken with all the trimming in Pueblo across the highway. Such a piece of paradise! We snorkeled and swam amongst the turtles and were happy to see the turtle nests along Half Moon Bay.First time for renting a car! Very safe and quiet. We have been coming to the Half Moon Bay area for 5 years now and Seascape is defintely a "10"!!!! Diana, thanks for all your helpful tips!

  What a wonderful vacation in Akumal! For a vacation rental, I prefer a smaller complex away from the hustle & bustle of the hot spots. La Sirena complex and specifically this condo (Seascape) were absolutely outstanding. Condo is colorful & comfortable & refreshing - you can tell that the owners also spend a lot of time here because of how well appointed the entire condo is. And I loved being on the ground floor corner unit - I spend every morning outside our door on the terraced beach in a chair with coffee and a book and then every evening in the same chair on the beach with a cocktail! Just doesn't get any better. The kitchen in the condo was exceptional -- recently renovated and nicely stocked with nice pots/pans/glassware/dishes - everything I needed to do whatever cooking I wanted. I've stayed in other places where the kitchen was either crammed to overflowing with what looked like casfoffs or so sparse we had to scavenge glasses & plasticware from fast food places. Seascape's kitchen was JUST RIGHT!!! The La Sirena pool & gardens are outstanding also - very inviting and a lot greener and more private than many of the complexes in the area. I loved being able to snorkle right outside the condo and even more snorkeling just s short walk away at Yal Ku lagoon. And Diana's information sheet about things to see & do in the area was invaluable - although I must admit I loved the condo so much that I was quite content to spend most of my days right on my own little beach away from home. I highly recommend this condo to anyone wanting to visit the Yukatan area without staying in one of the larger touristy towns like Cancun or Playa del Carmen.

  We recently stayed in this condo as our 4th visit to Akumal. From previous trips to this area, we dreaded the beds as they are either on concrete platforms or hard as rocks. Mexican pillows are horrible, or very limited. We choose this condo for the advertised beds. They did not disappoint, in fact they were best setup we have experienced whilst on vacation. The owner, Diana, has done a great job in making this condo the perfect mix of Mexican and American comfort. The new kitchen, in particular, was really nice and well outfitted. We ended up cooking more than we had planned because it was so easy with everything being provided. All the extra details made this condo our favorite we have been to. We'll be back. Thanks Diana!

  For our first visit to the Yucatan, we decided to stay in Akumal based on some recommendations from friends. We were very fortunate to find such a wonderful condo with a very helpful owner, Diana. Akumal is an easy place to fall in love with and we felt like the best decision we made was to stay there. Though the beaches are nicer at Akumal Bay, we preferred staying at a condo on Half-Moon Bay. It's less crowded and you literally walk out the door to a great snorkeling spot. We rented bikes at the condo for $5/day to make trips to town a little faster, but it also makes for a nice walk in the morning and evenings. It also helped that our favorite bar, La Buena Vida, was just down the road with great food and drinks. Down the road the other way was our favorite snorkeling spot at the lagoon. The condo itself was great for a bunch of reasons. We loved that it was on the first floor so it was easy access to the beaches and just for coming and going in general with neighbors on just one side. Everyone that worked there was very friendly and we had no problems at all, though there was someone on call 24hrs a day in case something happened. There is a full kitchen with everything one would want to prepare your own meals. We shopped at the big market in Tulum and made lots of great meals. It felt more like we were staying at someone's full-time residence than a typical condo or hotel room. Very homey and comfortable with all of the small touches like beach towels, coolers, and a breakdown of local restaurants and things to do. Plus free wi-fi was nice to have as well. We did rent a car, and that made everything on this trip much easier to be able to do what we wanted. We were a short, easy drive to the Mayan Ruins and cenotes. I would strongly recommend someone thinking about staying here to rent a car, and we had Diana help us get that figured out. Our trip was one of those trips where we were already planning our next stay at this condo. It would be a great place to go with 2 couples or with the family. We hope to make it back down as soon as we can take another vacation!

  Beautiful view, fabulous decor, conscientious and helpful staff. I will return ASAP. This does not feel like a rental. It feels like a well-decorated home that has a wonderful view of the ocean and gardens. The kitchen is even stocked with numerous spices and nice dishes and glassware. There are only a handful of condos in this building, and some are full-time residents. I like to vacation in peace and privacy, and this location afforded me that. The owner offers a lot of pre-travel information via email. It may seem overwhelming but read it before you go. It saves you time and money. Akumal is a great little town with a variety of restaurants. The area diving (reef and caves) is spectacular. I am an adult female, traveled by myself to Cancun, rented a car, and toured Akumal and Tulum. Used common sense and had zero safety concerns.

  My husband and I took our four kids here (13, 11, 9, 1) this year for vacation. We all had a fabulous time for sure! We had been to akumal before, snorkeled there while staying in Playa, and knew we would come back to stay. Our kids snorkeled a bit, found they didn't like it much, but still had a great time in the pool! There is plenty to do, right there and close by, but the town of akumal is still small, not terribly busy and friendly! Highly recommend. The property was awesome and we had some rental car issues while there and Enrique, the property manager, was so super helpful. So grateful for him! More Details ?

  Akumal and this condo was exactly what we needed for our multi-generational vacation. Akumal is very laid-back but still had enough to keep us all going. The kids didn't get bored, and the parents felt safe. Many opportunities for varied actitivites in the area, which we actually cut back on because we enjoyed our location so much. This condo is on the north end of Half Moon Bay so it is somewhat rocky here, but it is rocky everywhere in Akumal because the reef comes into the bay which meant fabulous snorkeling and calm water. The owner Diana described it as swimming in a giant aquarium, and she was right! We loved the condo itself, it was better than advertised. The beds were extremely comfortable. Everything was nicely appointed and well taken care of. When we cooked the few times, everything was there. The maid did a great job. Overall, everything in this condo was a step up from other places we have stayed at. We felt very spoiled and will be back.

  The unit far exceeded our expectations and provide our family of 4 everything we could have wanted in a rental unit. The books and DVD's as well a internet provided much information during brief periods of rain. The stain artistic glass in the shower and window transoms was nice as were all the personal touches, Mexican weavings, ceramics and photographs. It was easy to see the owner's passion for both sea life and plant life. Snorkeling in Half Moon Bay and Yal Kul was fantastic, my wife was over joyed to see three sea truttles and the incredible colors and variety of fish made me keep swimming for hours. The Akumal area is so peaceful and relaxing and feels incredibly safe as well. This condo made enjoying the area even easier. Thank you for sharing this special place that you have created and we would highly recommend it to our friends and anyone looking for a home away from home. We enjoyed trips to Ek Balam and Muyil on this trip having been to Chichen Itza, Coba and Tulum on previous visits. we enjoyed many of the recipes we found in the condo book (great margaritas and salsa) and were wonderfully relaxed and carefree for our entire vacation.

  This ten days in Akumal, was fun, relaxing, restful with as much added excitement as we wanted to include!! The most well-appointed condo we have stayed in for a while (last year, we went to Eleuthra), and we chose the downstairs unit so we could walk out and be 50 feet from the water to snorkel! We found the condo at Half-Moon Bay great for snorkeling, but bring water shoes as the water off the beach is a litle rocky. . The space in the unit was perfect for two couples, the screened porch great for rest and the ocean breeze was terrific! Grilled outside but found that stores do not know what "charcoal" is; we found one package to renew the supply at the condo. The little city has grown and although we did not enjoy the tour buses that are now coming, Akumal Bay was also great for snorkeling. I read 5 books while lounging at the biggest pool, including a lap pool, in Akumal!, a tranquil oasis of peace. We rented a car in Cancun, so we took a drive (all the way down to Punta Allen, took a pic for the Denver Post travel section! Plan to stop along the road to listen to the jungle and view some beautiful birds. A grilled fish dinner in Punta Allen was wondrous and the beaches along the way, not good to snorkel but so fun to surf and swim! We also went up and down the main road looking for "uh, mini-golfo" and everyone was so nice and sweet, but had no idea what we wanted! Also played a lot of Scrabble, we brought our own travel game. For fun and dancing, the sound system in condo is great too. Lots of DVD's were available in condo which were great to catch up on in eves.,after a day of fun and frolic! Buena Vida is great bar and restaurant just down the road, along with places in town for happy hours and shopping (their complex has certainly grown!) You can fish for half a day or so from several operators nearby, though April is said to be the beginning of 3 good months for fishing off shore. Phil did hook a bog sailfish but unfortunately he broke off the line!! Wonderful place to lose some time, (we could not find out about Payton Manning to Broncos, but neighbors informed us, they are friendly; he has a gallery in town with very interesting stories on sunken treasure near Akumal!) and to relax with friends. We have vacationed with another couple from MA for several years and one day, while at the pool, she looked up from her book and said "this is wonderful, isn't it" I had to agree. Thanks again to Diana for all her help.. Adios

  This was our second year staying at Seascape and can honestly say there are no negatives, only positives about this wonderfully appointed condo and its location. It has fabulous views, fabulous snorkeling and is in a quiet and relaxing complex with all the comforts of home. The great restaurants that are within walking distance are a huge bonus for the times when we didn’t feel like cooking at “home”. Akumal is centrally located along the Mayan Riviera, so all activities that you may want to take in are just a short drive; Mayan ruins – Tulum, Coba, Ek Balam; Cenote swims;(Casa Cenote with its restaurant and yummy Margarita’s was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon!) Sian Ka’an and any of the more commercial spots (Hidden Worlds, Xel-ha etc) are all nearby. A big thank you to Diana for allowing us to enjoy this amazing vacation home!

  More beautiful than the pictures: a breathtaking and wonderfully appointed condo in a stunning setting. The rooms were exotic, colorful and immaculate and the kitchen area had everything one wanted to make cooking a pleasure. And they all had terrific views and with a gentle tropical breeze that made air conditioning totally unnecessary! After our many outings to the lagoon (amazing to walk a few blocks and snorkel in warm, clear waters teeming with tropical fish), or the beaches or Mayan ruins, we relished coming back to La Sirena and the condo. Diana, the owner, was very helpful with everything and her love and enthusiasm for the area show not only in her many suggestions but in the care she has taken to create such a lovely home to share with her guests. Everyone from the landscape workers to the housekeeping and management staff were helpful and friendly to our family. We would recommend this area and specifically this complex and this condo without reservation.

  I needed a girls trip for my special B-Day, and decided on Akumal and then SeaScape. I sent months looking for the right location and then the right condo. There were so many options, but it was all in the details. Everything was perfect. Akumal, the beaches, the snorkeling, and especially the condo. There was plenty of room for the five of us. Very comfortable, and nice. I have never slept so well as in the condo. And we really liked all the extra touches. The owner, Diana was so helpful in planning, even helping us to best use our time at Seascape. One week was not enough. Next time we are bringing husbands!

  This was a trip filled with 'firsts.' First trip to Mexico, first snorkeling, first trip to Coba . . . It was ALL fantastic. And Sea Scape was the perfect place to experience it all. There are so many things to do nearby it was hard to choose. Also a great place to just kick back away from the hustle and bustle of everyday living. You could hang out by the pool or snorkel. Several good area restaurants as well if not in the mood to cook for yourself. Sea Scape is everything it is advertised to be. Nicely decorated with all the comforts of home. I am not sure what I really expected but this was so much more than anticipated.

  We spent a great week at this condo this past in August, and just loved it. The condo was perfectly outfitted, everything in great condition with many extras that made our stay very comfortable. This was not your typical condo. The condo is larger than the most 2 bedrooms, bright, and nicely designed. We especially liked the beach side screened porch. Our daughter loved watching the jungle animals at night from this. La Sirena's gardens are incredible, and we liked that the condo wasn't up against the road like a lot of them on this bay. The location was perfect, we felt we had plenty of privacy but were close to everything. We spent more time than we had planned to at the condo because the views, and the snorkeling is the best in the area. The owner, Diana, was extremely helpful in recommendations, to help balance down time and active time. This was a perfect vacation. We are definely coming back again: same time next year! Akumal it;sef was very nice, quiet . For once, the photos are actually NOT as good as reality. The views were drop dead gorgeous.

  Breathtaking vistas of Half Moon Bay from this well appointed condo. Well designed & wonderfully decorated, the floor plan works for up to 5 persons. The condo is well equipped & supplied with cooking utensils & all other needs. The mattresses in the bedrooms are ultimate comfort. Well landscaped & maintained, the courtyard is a blaze of tropical color & greenery & surrounds a beautiful swimming pool. Conveniently located within walking distance to Yal Cuu Lagoon. The owner is friendly & helpful & easy to work with. You won't regret your stay here. p.s. The only drawback is that water access is a swim over living coral and the beaches are rocky here.

  I wanted to extend a special "Thank You" to the lovely couple who rent this condo. The condo and its location are unbeatable! I am so glad my family had the opportunity to explore Mexico with the comfort of knowing each night we would be resting up at the Seascape. It really is a secluded paradise away from all the tourism! We enjoyed all of the little conveniences such as the kitchen, two bedrooms and bathrooms (great when your traveling with kids),and TV in English! All the "little extras" were a great bonus. Oh and let's not forget the pool. It is a great place to start or end an adventurous day, we loved it! We snorkeled directly at the beach in front of the condo on a daily basis and observed different sea creatures each day. We also walked to Akumal Bay and snorkeled with the sea turtles. There we saw eels, a barracuda and several different fish. I must note though that snorkeling at Half Moon Bay was slightly better due to the clarity of the water. We headed to the Lagoon one day and that was worth the experience! The water was cool and crisp, great for a cool down, and the fish were amazing. The family also enjoyed going to Coba one of the days. This was an experience that will never be forgotten. My one word of advise for anyone making the trip to Coba is pay for the bicyclist to transport you due to the extreme distance between Mayan sites. Another great adventure was to the Grand Cenote. This is unusually cool, freshwater snorkeling in caves. My eleven year old son and I deeply enjoyed this because we are the thrill seekers in the family and it was dark snorkeling in some areas! Choosing Seascape was the perfect location to do all that we did and more. I must admit after traveling all over this area in Mexico, this condo is in a central location to so many activities. I'm so glad we picked this area! All in all we had a grand time and I am sure we have discovered a permanent vacation destination. Again, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Ya'll are giving more than just a place to stay on vacation, you're giving families the opportunity to make memories that will last a lifetime. Until we rent again!!!!

  We just returned from Akumal last Friday. This was our first international family trip and I am so happy that we chose Sea Scape at La Sirena. We appreciate all of the helpful information that the owners gave to us to prepare for our trip. Our girls loved the proximity to the bay and the view of the Caribbean was spectacular. The pool area was a tropical paradise with birds flying overhead and iguanas lounging beside it in the sun. The girls, 7 and 10, even named the iguana at the pool, since we saw him every day. The Playa Paradise staff, including Miriam and Inez, were fabulous and always made sure we were comfortable. We also loved the Akumal Beach snorkeling and Yal Kul Lagoon, both of which are only 5 minutes away. This was a great time of year to go, as we were one of the only families in the complex and only shared the pool with one other family the whole time we were there. If you want great family times or a romantic place to vacation, Sea Scape is the place for you!

  Well, sadly we are all done with our time away at Seascape! Again, we just had the most wonderful time. It was some much needed time away, and we feel so fortunate that it was in such a paradise as your condo in Akumal! Everything in the unit worked great. The morning view of the Caribbean is unforgettable! You have the condo supplied well with all the kitchen and everyday needs one may have. The place is also managed very well by the staff at Playa Paradise. Very professional and courteous! We enjoyed all that Akumal has to offer (or at least everything we could make time for on this trip!) We will definitely be back!

  This was our third trip to Akumal and second to stay at SeaScape. While Playa del Carmen is still growing and becoming a mini-Cancun, Akumal is still small and quaint. Snorkeling in Half Moon Bay is best right in front of the condo, we couldn't get enough of it. It is somewhat rocky going in, but it is rocky everywhere in the bay. Following the owner's, Diana's directions, we found a new beach and several local restaurants in the jungle. Some of our most enjoyable times was relaxing at the end of the day watching the wildlife from the beach. Our location was perfect. As for the condo,we didn't think it could get better but it did. Everything is kept updated and well-maintained, you don't feel as though you are in the Yucatan. The owner, Diana is here often which shows in the overall quality of everything in the condo. Lots of extras that make the difference between very good and excellent: beach umbrellas, chairs and coolers, reading lamps, extremely well stocked kitchen, and wonderful linens. You're in a wonderful home here not a rental. It was truely perfection.

  We had a wonderful time, we had twelve beautiful days on the beach and in the bay. The condo is beautiful, the grounds were lovley and the maintenance folks could not have been more accomodating and attentive, it was all just great. We did all our own cooking, or brought back sachels of pre-cooked chicken/pork from Tulum and made meals of it with fresh tortillas from town. The kitchen was very well equipped, we were pleasantly surprised! We took a turtle walk with the CEM our last night in Akumal, which we would recommend, we saw a female green sea turle come up on the beach, and saw a nest hatch and helped the babies make their way to the ocean. It was a nice way to end the trip, very moving and memorable. We’ll be back , we loved the bay, the town, the road with the little shops, everything. -- Holly, Chris and Eric from Boston

  We've been coming to this area for years but always stayed in AI's. This year we decided to try a condo, and I'm glad we did. We are converted. I loved this condo for extra space and excellent views, my wife loved it for all comforts and amenities, and the kids loved the freedom. This condo is on the north end of the bay so the beach is more private and the grounds are much more extensive than the other complexes in the area. We also felt as though we were more safe perhaps than at other places. The location is perfect. The condo is also kept in immaculate shape, you can tell the owner stays on top of things. It was actually nicer than advertised, a surprise. While we were there we looked around at some others, we think we picked the best place! We will definitely be back.

  If you like beautiful views, quiet, fantastic snorkeling, wildlife, and a Mexican feel come to Akumal. And if you want to feel spoiled come to this condo. While all beachfront condos on this bay have great views what separates them are how they have been detailed by their owners. This one overdelivers. It had everything we could think of, even pool floatees! We spent more time in the condo then we had planned, we loved the beach area and our own personal space, just being able to walk right out. We also liked the screened porch as a 2nd living area, and the new master bath is very spa-like. The owner, Diana spends a lot of time in Akumal, and was very helpful and informative. Thanks for sharing your special place with us! Fabulous.

  A lot of the condos in this area are a little worn, not this one. Well maintained, lots of extras. You can tell the owner is here a lot. We paid a little more than another we looked at, but worth it. With 2 living areas, we could spread out not feel on top of each other. The new bathroom is beautiful, we felt spoiled. The photos need to be updated, especially with the new bathroom. There is a lockup for return guests to leave their snorkel equipment. Ask the owner, Diana, who was great. We left ours.

  Simply phenominal. Our second trip back to Seascape was even better than our first, and we didn't think that was possible! We had our Honeymoon at Seascape and loved every second of it. Diana is a wonderful hostess and the place is a familiar little slice of paradise for Jess and I. The cleaning staff and management were absolutely wonderful, and the maintainence guy was really on the ball! We love Akumal and Seascape , for the adventerous types, it's a great launching point to explore the Mayan and the Yucatan, lots of history and culture in the area, which Diana caters to with great books (and a first rate "instruction manual" :)on the subject. For the snorkelers, fifty feet out your front door is some of the best snorkeling we've ever done. Not to mention the great Yal Ku lagoon and Akumal Beach with those awesome turtles. Whether you're looking for adventure, relaxation, or a romantic getaway, there's none better than the beauty and comfort of Seascape. Can't wait to go back!

  Super condo at a great location. I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Sea Scape could not have been more comfortable. The maid and management company were also very friendly and attentive to any questions or needs.

  SeaScape was the perfect place for a family vacation. The kids could choose to swim in the ocean or the pool...and they loved going back and forth all day between the two. We cooked most nights we were there and every time I went to look for something in the kitchen, Diana had thought of it--she had everything we needed. We went to Yal Ku Lagoon several times while we were there...and it was only a block away. Akumal remains one of the best spots on the Mayan Riviera. We would definitely stay in SeaScape again. Thanks Diana!

  WOW! Perfect location, perfect views and perfect condo! We've stayed in a lot of places in the Maya Riviera over the past 10 years, and this is the best. The owner, Diana, has thought of everything, and coordinated it all just so beautifully, even down to the coozies! You can tell SeaScape is well loved. The beds are a dream, much more comfortable from most places we've been to in Mexico. Since the condo is on the corner groundfloor, not only did we have perfect views, but we also had our own space outside with our own beach furniture. Our stay of SeaScape was a much needed relaxing vacation. Our daughter spent most of her time outside playing, while my husband watched ALL the Planet Earth DVD's, and I chilled and learned about the Mayan people (all courteous of SeaScape's beach toys, DVD and book library). For once, we had a well stocked kitchen. Even though we didn't cook much, it was nice the few times we did, and made it much easier and fun. The full size frig was also a nice added feature. We didn't go in the pool because we enjoyed our own beach area so much. But the pool is the largest in Akumal, and gardens are beautiful with many unusual plants. We learned from another owner that, Diana, SeaScape's owner, is the reason for this as she planted almost all these. One of the staff even gave us a papaya from her papaya tree. If you are a gardener, SeaScape is heaven for you. SeaScape is a gem; and we can't wait to go back!

  Seascape exceeded our expectations. The view is gorgeous, the condo is very spacious and airy with plenty of room for our family of 5. The kitchen is well supplied and there are wonderful restaurants in town. The best snorkeling in the area is right in front or within walking distance. The front porch is a real bonus. The corner lot is private with great light. The pool area is very nice with beautiful landscaping. We were convinced we had the best spot in Akumal!

  This is our 3rd year returning to the 'Roo and our 2nd year staying at Diana's condo. This is our first choice for places to stay in Akumal. The condo is wonderfully furnished, the view spectacular, and the kitchen is the best equipped we have found. You can't go wrong staying here!

  This condo is all that it promises to be and more! Diana, the owner, was excellent to work with and very accommodating. You can certainly leave your worries behind when you come to Seascape. They have such a great staff and this condo is so well supplied...just like you would have at home. I would recommond staying here and the price was very competitive compared to everything else we looked at. This condo is right on the beach and the snorkeling is absolutely incredible. What more could you ask for really?! We will definitely be booking our next stay here when the time comes!

  We have just stayed at Seascape during the Christmas Holidays and it was more then we anticipated. Diana's promise was for real. We were able to snorkel right in front of the condo and also enjoyed the lagoon five minute walk from Seascape. Akumal Bay also brought great suprises swimmimg with turtles and many more sea creature. We would very much like to go again and enjoy the great hospitality the staff and the local people have to give. The rooms are very comfortable and the morning view is just breath taking. It is truly a peice of heaven. Thank you for making our first trip there a most memorable one. Lucy

  That's how we feel about SeaScape!! The owners keeps the condo in tip-top shape because it is also their "home away from home". Very relaxing, beautiful views, great swimming pool and lovely gardens create a terrific tropical paradise for vacationing. We enjoy the surrounding atmosphere at the local restaurants, swimming at Yal Ku, the beautiful lagoon two blocks away, swimming with the turtles in Akumal Bay, and then returning back to our SeaScape "paradise" for more rest and relaxation away from any crowds. The snorkeling in Half Moon Bay, just outside the condo, is excellent and we have seen all manner of sea life within arms reach. Highly recommend this vacation spot if you want relax and enjoy the many treats of Mexico in the Akumal area.

  Like all beach front condos in Akumal have great views, and similar conveniences, after trying several out over the past years, this one is the best. As the owner describes, it has so much more than a 'rental', it's like you are staying in a home. All kinds of extra amenities, and for once, really comfortable beds. Maids, water, cleaning was typical Akumal good but not perfect. The gardens and the pool area really are the best in the area. We liked not being next to the road as the other complexes are. The front building is ugly though, but don't let that scare you. Management was good, and it was nice to have someone on-site all th time. We also liked being on the corner ground floor unit. It was much more private and it seemed like we had more space. Really, like the personal beach loungers. We are already booked to come back here next year.

  The condo at La Serena was such a wonderful change from the all-inclusive resorts we had stayed with for 6 year in Playa. We love the beautiful condo that is in such a private location. We walked to the Yal Ku Lagoon every morning and enjoy all the different varieties of fish. We enjoyed the bay, too. It was fun to speak the Spanish we learned years ago in high school and buy for all of the fun meals we fixed at the condo. Our daughter, son-in-law, and six month baby visited us for one of our weeks and loved it as well. The pool is great and the staff is unbeatable. We have stayed two times and already have our reservations for "09.

  This was our second stay in Akumal but our first time at SeaScape. Words the do justice to the experience at SeaScape are hard to find. The location was excellent, whether our plans included snorkeling, just lying in the sun or walking on the beach OR watching sunrises and sunsets! All you have to do is say Mexico, and our first thoughts will return to SeaScape!

  The condo was wonderful: clean, beautifully furnished and right on the ocean. Staff was friendly, helpful and daily maid service exceptional. Having access to wireless for my computer was a big plus. Local restaurants are great and snorkeling and scuba diving amazing. It was a wonderful, cost effective alternative to hotels...would recommend it highly.

  This property was an absolute delight....right on the ocean...waking up each morning to watch the pelicans dive-bombing for fish was total entertainment. Snorkeling right in front of the condo made every day really easy. great restaurants within walking distance. This place was paradise.

  Sea Scape is a wonderful relaxing vacation spot. The condo is right on the beach, quiet, and absolutely beautiful. The location is superb, with snokeling right out the back door, sandy beach for tanning and lots of opportunities for walking on the beach and exploring for hermit crabs in the evening. The condo is spacious and has 2 very comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms. The staff was very friendly and accomodating to our needs. If you are looking for a large resorts with a lot of planned activities, and all exclusive meals you will be unhappy here. If you like venturing to the local restaurants, relaxing on the beach right out your backdoor or visiting Mayan ruins at Tulum or Coba this is the place for you! Another highlight was swimming/snokeling in a Cenote (underground sinkhole filled with crystal clear blue water). Try the mix seafood ceviche in the restaurants in the area - it was absolutely wonderful. Travel trip - take water shoes for playing in the water. The ocean floor is rocky in the area but because of it, the fish is abundunt - the snokeling was excellent. We'll be visiting Sea Scape again.

  We just returned from SeaScape in Akumal and must say it was one of the most beautiful places we've ever stayed. It has a comfortable, homey feeling with about everything you could need or want. The views were absolutely spectacular! We enjoyed watching the sunrise and walking along the beach early in the morning. My daughter loved playing with the hermit crabs and searching for all the other little critters that live in the area. The snorkeling in front of the condo was incredible, as was the lagoon just up the road. And the pool was a perfect ammenity when we wanted a quick swim after supper. The staff was very friendly and helpful and made sure our stay was as nice as it possibly could be. We will definately return and look forward to our next stay at SeaScape in Akumal.

  SeaScape in Akumal was an absolutely TERRIFIC place to stay! The condo is beautiful, beautifully decorated, comfortable and right on the beach, as advertised. The grounds and pool were also beautiful! The property manager and staff were friendly and helpful and easy to find. The snorkeling just outside the condo was spectacular and our family of four (2 adults, 2 boys) had a great time. We look forward to returning someday and recommend SeaScape to anyone looking for a great vacation spot close to everything in the Riviera Maya. Thanks!

  What a super spot! You can walk right out the door to Half Moon Bay, where there's plenty of great snorkeling - and a wonderful view to enjoy while you're not swimming! The condo is plenty large enough for a family of four, and has all of the basics, plus a kitchen to make your own meals, maid service so you don't have to even make the beds, and the ceiling fans in every room help keep things cool. We enjoyed sitting out on the patio just watching the surf in the bay. Since this condo is at the end of the bay, it's relatively isolated, giving it a feeling of privacy. If you want to eat out instead of cook, there are lots of restaurants in the town - all serve really good food, if a bit pricey. And numerous things to do are nearby - we went to some Mayan ruins, and nature parks, but the best thing is to just enjoy the bay that's right outside the windows!

  A remarkable retreat in a remarkable oasis of natural beauty. That's how we describe Sea Scape and the Akumal area on the Mayan coast. The Sea Scape is the most beautiful, comfortable condo we have stayed in since starting to traveling to Mexico nearly 20 years ago. The spacious, lovely interior and GREAT beds make staying at this condo a pleasure. The complex's pools are fabulous and the maid service is impeccable. The grounds of this lovely retreat are beautiful, and the Sea Scapes's ground floor view of the bay offers relaxing nights under the stars with drinks in hand. We plan to revisit this area and stay at Sea Scape every year. Thank you for a wonderful, relaxing stay, and we look forward to our next adventure in Akumal! Cheryl, John, Ben and Sam

  My husband and I have been visiting Akumal for over 10 years, and progressively fallen in love with the area. So we decided to find and buy our dream beach place, hence SeaScape! We love the tranquility and naturalness, all the colors of the Caribbean, being able to just step off the beach porch in the morning with a cup of coffee and watch the reef creatures, and being lulled to sleep with the sound of the surf. We hope that you will join us in our little piece of paradise.

Truely a vacation location in paradise.
